Nintendo has announced the long-rumored return of F-Zero to its platform, but it’s not in the way many expected. The company revealed a new Battle Royale game titled F-Zero 99 during its Nintendo Direct on Thursday.
“The F-ZERO game returns as a 99-player battle royale!” Nintendo says. “Race on classic F-ZERO courses with machines from the original Super NES game and tear through courses in high-speed races. But be careful, your Power Meter will decrease if you crash into pilots or guard rails. If it hits zero, you’re out!”
F-Zero 99 launches on Thursday for members of Nintendo Switch Online. Players can sign up for the service through their console or on Nintendo’s website.
